Kelly asked:
I just put 3 koi in my pond that already has 3 koi and a couple of little goldfish. As soon as I did, my koi swam fast up 2 the new koi and started swimming on top of them.

Do I need to worry? or as fish like animals and you have to watch out when introducing them?
400 gallon and all koi are only 6 inches

It depends on the size of your pond. If it is too small for them, they will fight. I would say a nice 150 gallon pond would be good. If they continue to fight return a couple or extend your pond. Good luck!!
I don’t think you need to worry, we have lots of Koi in our pond of different sizes. all put in at different times and none of them have come to any harm. probably just being curious
If the pond is big enough for them, they will be grand. I wouldn’t worry. I have 20 something odd now of Koi, and I have some goldfish along with them as well. I have introduced new Koi to the main Koi in the pond and they all have been grand. Did you put them into a holding tank? I do put my new Koi in a holding tank at first just incase any of the new Koi have no mites etc , Just to be on the safe side, then I do introduce them to after a few weeks to the other koi. hope this is some help. I wouldn’t worry. only time I worry is when they start swimming sideways .
